Evangelical Cross Church with open staircase, built in 1829/30.

The church was built in 1829/30 in just 21 months according to plans by Heinrich Hübsch from Karlsruhe, who later became Baden's court architect. The church was commissioned by Baron Julius von Gemmingen, who converted from the Catholic to the Protestant Church in 1823 with most of his family and 220 other members.

In terms of architectural history, the Church of the Holy Cross reflects the transition between Neoclassicism and Historicism. It was constructed as a ashlar building made of red sandstone with wide wall strips and four round-arched windows on each side. The church portal is reached via a grand staircase. Above the portal are two large round-arched windows, above which an inscription was carved into the stone: "Built through Christian love 1829/30." This inscription commemorates the fact that this building was made possible by donations from all over Germany. The tower, which houses three bells, is adorned with a pyramidal dome.

The interior is dominated by a large arched gateway at the front of the church. In front of this arch stands the altar, above which is the pulpit. Above the pulpit is a stucco relief by the Karlsruhe sculptor Aloys Raufer. It depicts the four evangelists with their respective symbolic figures. The altar cross was a gift from the Prussian King Frederick William III in 1829. To the left of the pulpit hangs a painting of the Sacrifice of Isaac. The gallery and organ date from 1890. A visit to the old cemetery next to the church is worthwhile. It is one of the few remaining denominational cemeteries in Baden.
